More free stuff!
Last week we shared some free training and guides for you to use in your business. This week we thought we'd share some free tools to help you with some of the diverse range of tasks a business or organisation now needs to master -
~Design for non-designers
Canva is a useful tool for managing social media images, design of posters, leaflets and many other design tasks. Easy to use, it allows you to design from scratch (heaps of templates on the site) or modify an existing photo or design. That's how we quickly turned a generic photo into the bookkeeping image on this post. Check it out at www.canva.com...
~Track and organise your expenses
From receipt scanning to reimbursement, Expensify automates every step of the expense management process, and is free for individuals. It integrates with Xero and Quickbooks. Find out more at use.expensify.com...
~Surveys for employees and/or customers
SurveyMonkey allows free use of their tools that is sufficient for many uses for small to medium enterprises. Get up-to-date with how your staff and customers are thinking through quick on-line surveys. Check it out at www.surveymonkey.com...
~Email software
Carrying on the primate theme, MailChimp offers a generous free plan that could suit many small to medium enterprises. The software helps you comply with international laws and gets more of your emails through to your database. Find out more at www.mailchimp.com...
Happy working! (And if you're out of time or energy for any of this, get in touch. We'd love to help.)

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
Want to see what recovery will look like from here? The Waikato Times has the latest.
